This fruit is so versatile—even if you bought a whole bag of them, you might not have enough because you can use it for pretty much everything. "[They're] pretty cheap, alkalizing, and a great source of vitamin C. Add to some water, marinades, dressings, salads, smoothies, juices, fish, chicken, or even baked goods to bring out added flavor. The sky is the limit," says Amy Shapiro, MS, RD, CDN, founder and director of Real Nutrition.
Nathalie Rhone, MS, RD, CDN, founder of Nutrition by Nathalie, shares a helpful morning-routine tip: "I use lemons every morning in warm lemon water to get a boost of vitamin C, help flush out the system, get the digestive system going, and jump-start my body for the day. Make sure you drop the lemon wedge into your cup because most of the antioxidants are in the skin!"
